Wait and see you distrohopping every month for years ending up in a boring stable distro.

Why don't you install flatpak on Ubuntu, make the packaging migration before doing the OS migration so you can evaluate your workflow with the new packaging system? Afer you're used and confident with flatpak, backup and restore the flatpak folder into fedora and you transition should be smoother (don't need to worry with 2 stuff at the same time)

As an addition to other responses, think that most apps (specially smaller ones) are developed using some framework or set of libraries that might or might not support those protocols.

So let's pretend that I have an app buit using Electron and that framework does not support Wayland. There's nothing I can do on the app side until Electron supports Wayland in this fake example.

So it actually takes time for the libraries to support the new protocol and then app developers to update their apps to support it aswell.

That's why you see that the Wayland migration is incremental and not all at once.

What I do nowadays is to have Timeshift daily backups in case something breaks the system and the Ubuntu backup application doing daily backups of my home to my NAS. I don't have a separate home partition although this is often recommended.

This setup saved me once, but I haven't needed it for almost 2 years now.

Doesn't windows ship with a native email client? I don't use Windows but I remember an email app on it.

I find myself spending less money on useless stuff by not seeing as many ads as before and getting more neutral search results.

Before I was finding myself wanting to buy certain stuff because they looked cool in ads. Now I think more on what I want to buy and start exposing myself to that product or service after the decision was made.

They sell a bunch of models with Ubuntu pre installed in Brazil also. Not every model / configurations, but even gaming laptops are available here.

Claramente um desperdício de dinheiro assinar algo assim. Mas se eles venderem como um clube VIP como parece que vai ser, deve ter gente pagando.

Nowadays I don't even bother with upgrades anymore. Snaps and Flatpaks auto updates automatically, and for system updates Ubuntu notifies once a week.

For me the experience nowadays is better than before, where app updates are tied to system updates, meaning that older bases (like Ubuntu LTS) got behind on some softwares.

Snaps have a similar deduplication mechanism, and snaps allows calling apps from their names like you would do with regular packages.

I think the reason for the second one is that while snaps are also meant to be used in servers/cli flatpak is built only with desktop GUI apps in mind.

That would be the same of hating docker because it creates networks. It's just how it's sandbox works.

That's correct, I have done it before.
